And the results are in! As promised yesterday, StrmnNrmn‘s drafted a shortlist of the ten lucky finalists for his Daedalus PSP icon design contest. He’s received a little under 200 entries in total – would you believe? – and it took him quite a while to come up with the shortlist of ten.

Now for those who joined… do you think you you made it to the top 10? Drumroll please! And the winners are…

And the results are in! As promised yesterday, StrmnNrmn‘s drafted a shortlist of the ten lucky finalists for his Daedalus PSP icon design contest. Just so you guys know, it’s been a difficult process for him in trying to narrow down the competition to just ten since there were a lot of great artwork submitted.

StrmnNrmn’s received a little under 200 entries in total – would you believe? – and it took him quite a while to come up with the shortlist. As he states in his blog:

In the end I had a ‘longlist’ of around 30 entries which I thought were superb, and it’s taken me over an hour to whittle that down to just 10 entries.

Now for those who joined… do you think you you made it to the top 10? The finalists are (in order that they sent in their entries): Cladil, Pleaser, Basim Darwish, Steven La, Victor Aguirre, Joël Dos Santos, Jay Mc, Patrick Ahmann, Hykypoo, and juniorslick363.

As you can see from the winning artwork, StrmnNrmn chose the finalists based on a wide spectrum of “look and feel.” From your colorful backgrounds, to your subdued hues, from your graffiti-ed, to vector-ed. (Note that we only posted the backgrounds – in no particular order – and not the icons made by their creators.)

You  may check the rest of the artwork in StrmnNrmn’s blog, via the source link below. The homebrew emulator developer is inviting discussion over the finalists’ works (he said he’ll be reading comments over the weekend) and he gives great thanks to all those who’ve joined the contest. The winner will be announced on Monday!
